Need help identifying movie

I’m trying to identify an old movie I saw as a kid. In the only scene I really remember, a soldier is sitting in a room, contemplating suicide, before eventually grabbing a pistol, putting it to his head and pulling the trigger. There may have also been some scenes involving a gondola but I may also be conflating with another film. I’m guessing the it was 50s or 60s era. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

When you mentioned gondola, I immediately thought of "Where Eagles Dare" with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. It was made in 1968. It's been awhile since I saw it, but I don't remember any scene with a soldier contemplating suicide and then committing suicide in it. The only suicide scene that I remember was when the mole jumped out of the airplane on the way back to England when he was outed. Could be wrong though.

"On the Plains of Hesitation, lies the blackened bones of countless millions who,
at the dawn of victory sat down to rest, and resting died"....(Adlai Stevenson to Harry Truman on discussing the pros and cons of dropping the big one, or so I'm told)
